Give Joy, Get Joy (Video)

People sometimes ask me if I have any friends my own age. I always find this a great opportunity to explain that I have friends of all ages, but I am especially privileged to have incredible older men and women in my life. Over the past three years I have become great friends with 91 year old Ilona Royce Smithkin. We get together at least once a week to enjoy wonderful conversations about life, love, and our creative ventures. I always love to share Ilona's wisdom. I hope you enjoy our latest small video above, where Ilona explains why we shouldn't worry about perfection.

What beautiful words of wisdom, and just what I needed to hear today. Thank you so for sharing it.The sound of her voice is so lovely.I've just come across your blog,and I am enjoying it so.Thank you again,Thea

I will keep Ilona's words in mind whenever I feel like complaining about an ache or pain. Thank you for such an uplifting video filled with wonderful advice for us all.Ilona is my role model of aging with spirit and joy.

I really enjoyed this video. I really appreciate the words she spoke. It's the perfect way of thinking and you can tell that is how she lives. You're so lucky to have met her and I'm so glad you share this with us =)
